It all started one sunny afternoon when my lovebug posted this fudge recipe on my Facebook wall with the message: “Yes please!”

Well naturally, like the angel I am (*ahem*) I set out to make it for him, but I fancied creating an even faster and healthier version.

And this, my friend, is the story of the 3 Fudges…

Batch One came out of the freezer when friends joined us for a spontaneous dinner party.

Non-vegan friends, and my coconut measurements were a little kooky – and yet these cheeky little morsels disappeared faster than you can yell: “MINE!”

Batch Two came with us to another dinner party. Unfortunately I had experimented with using coconut milk so I could mould them into pretty little patty pans, and we had them out of the freezer for too long.

And that’s all we’ll say about that. Hopefully we get invited back one day…

Batch Three were ‘thank you gift’ed to my lovebug’s brother when he came to pick us up at crazy o’clock to take us to our early Melbourne flight last weekend.

Now if you give someone sweets at 4am and they immediately demolish them and exclaim: “You made me brownies!Awesome!“, I say stay with that recipe, baby. You’re onto a good thing.

Jess – the first time, I used Coconut Shavings (or ‘Chips’) and wore them down in my food processor on low speed until they formed a kind of coconut butter, but it’s much easier and faster if you can find desiccated. Ask your friendly health food store and you should find it easily enough. It’s a fraction of the cost of coconut butter, too. 🙂 x

I’ve just made this (there’s mixture on the ipad) and its so. good. Mine was a bit banana-y so I’ve added more cacao and some maple syrup- Otherwise my little boys will be all ( side eying me) ‘thi isn’t VEGAN is it?’. Mind you, I might not share…

I absolutely adore this fudge and have made it a few times. I fancied some just now and had some frozen in the freezer, but didn’t fancy waiting for it to defrost so popped it into the microwave to defrost…. unintentially for slightly too long, so that it turned into HOT CHOC FUDGE SAUCE!!! It was actually out of this world, it was so amazingly delicious it blew my mind!!!! What an amazing discovery!
